Yohan Magnin fends off the tackle from Emilian Nedelcu. He runs a few meters and passes to Brice Carré, who is running flat out at the defense. Great ball, right on his chest. R.C. Samsung aren't in a position to stop him, and Brice Carré dives over the try line unhindered.

78

There are players smashing into this ruck from both sides.. it is a real contest for the ball. Eventually the vv players gain the upper hand and the ball emerges slowly on their side.

77

Boris Bruno Acsádi is playing heads up rugby, he sees that there is a opportunity to move the ball wide and passes to Filimon Andriescu, he passes to Brice Carré who tries to move the ball on to Ricardo Rocchi. But the last R.C. Samsung defender has made a good decision to come in and put pressure on the passer and the ball falls short.

Nice work by vv. Yohan Magnin dummies right and then passes the ball left to Adrian Însurć. He gets the ball and spins out of Aurel Grădinaru's tackle, dropping over the line for 5 points. Lovely play!

72

Ruck. vv get the ball from that one and their scrumhalf can be heard frantically giving his instructions for a new attack.

vv have an overlap on the right. Looks like they've spotted it too. Yohan Magnin fires a quick pass off to Iosif Dumitru Chiriac who flicks the ball on to Grigore Závoczky. He's rushed the pass though, and the ball evades the grasp of Carl ć. That was a good scoring opportunity gone to waste.

61

Oh no! There is chaos on the field as the players start a punch up after a high tackle by Tyler Houston on Adamnan Bedggood. The referee seems happy enough with the challenge though and signals play on. Somebody better tell the players to put their handbags away.

Adrian Panait Iepure races over to the captain and pleads with him for a chance at this easy kick for 3 points. The tee is carried over and Adrian Panait Iepure slots the ball through the uprights to bring the score to 27 - 20.

vv with another two points on the scoreboard thanks to the sure-footed kicking of Horia Toma Ebâncă.

54

Try time!!! The vv scrum half, Yohan Magnin, senses an opportunity as Emilian Nedelcu is the only defender to his left. He throws a massive dummy left, jinks right and dives over for an easy try. You'd think players of this level wouldn't fall for that kind of trickery!

53

Ruck. vv get the ball from that one and their scrumhalf can be heard frantically giving his instructions for a new attack.

Good lineout for R.C. Samsung. The hooker finds his man perfectly, and Nicolň Casiero wins the ball in the air.

46

vv's scrum half digs the ball out of the ruck and runs with ball in hand. He skilfully dodges Emilian Nedelcu's tackle and the slips the ball to Jamie Hansen. He attempts a quick flick pass to Carl ć, but he doesn't get the ball under control. That was an unnecessary bit of showboating. He was under no pressure there, and now he's squandered possession. At least he has the decency to look upset with himself!

45

It looks like R.C. Samsung lost the ball in the ruck. Their forwards weren't quick enough to protect the ball.

44

R.C. Samsung's scrum half is smashed by Yohan Magnin. That run was so telegraphed that the postal service want to charge him for it!

43

It's a scrum to R.C. Samsung. It's wheeling around as the ball is fed in, but R.C. Samsung still win the ball.

42

Ilán Barreiro sets off upfield. He easily hands off the weak tackles of Nicolň Casiero, then Nicanor Hoyos. The fullback is in his way, so he offloads to Boris Bruno Acsádi who is running in support. The pass is badly judged though, and goes behind the man. A lucky escape for R.C. Samsung there!

41

Adrian Panait Iepure signals to his forwards to stay behind the ball and sends a hanging kick in their direction. Both Sean Ashby and Ilán Barreiro jump for the catch, but both players have misjudged the flight of the ball and it sails over their heads. Ilán Barreiro is the first to react, scooping up the loose ball on the first bounce.

After the break, and vv are just in front, there's still all to play for.

Good lineout for vv. The hooker finds his man perfectly, and Ilán Barreiro wins the ball in the air.

31

R.C. Samsung are showing us some creative rugby today, Emilian Nedelcu passes to Sean Ashby who is stood right on the gain line. Sean Ashby tries a scissors move with Hefin Howley but they are too close together and collide leaving the ball behind them.

30

Adrian Panait Iepure lines up a difficult penalty. He's hit it well and it goes through the uprights. Three points for R.C. Samsung!

26

Adrian Însurć gets penalised for not rolling away. You have to at least make an effort to release the player tackled! Refs are so hot on that these days. Penalty for R.C. Samsung.

25

Nice breakthrough by Aurel Grădinaru who gets low and charges. He cannons into Adrian Însurć like a stampeding bull, but Adrian Însurć wraps him up and manages to bring him down. Looks like we finally know what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

Horia Toma Ebâncă gets the ball in space, but, seeing the defence rushing towards him in a line, decides to kick for goal instead. It's a beautiful shot, and it sails straight through the middle of the uprights. Three points to vv!

22

vv have retained possession as their players were quick and picked up the loose ball. They'll be able to attack again

Superb work there by forwards and backs alike! Sean Ashby sends the ball to Cătălin Mircea Labagîştii who carries it on before passing on to Nicolň Casiero. He spots that he has an overlap outside, draws in a defender and then passes to Michi Gheorghe. There's nobody between him and the try line, and he sprints in for a well-worked try.
